Before you added the host , did you make sure you can ping it ? did you also try to manually as the user nagios can execute the check_http script and get a proper response ? By default check_host_alive and check_http expect an IP address in the " address " Feild , not a FQDN . and that might be what is throwing your nagios of game. Change the "address" to the IP address and see what response you get . Assaf -- Never,Ever Cut A Deal With a Dragon I am doing a Charity Bike ride On the 27 of June for the Capital to Coast Charity.
